rsync with ssh

Setup rsync from laptop to a remote server.
To get this done, I followed the steps described in http://www.jdmz.net/ssh/

The commands that I used:
rsync -avz -e ssh Documents/gnupg-data/ jan@www.jankester.com:/home/jan/backup_rsync
ssh-keygen -t dsa -b 2048 -f .ssh/ewing_ssh_rsync_key

added entry in commands in authorized keys remote
added validate-rsync script on remote under /home/jan/cron

Test again whether new key works
rsync -avz -e ssh -i /home/jan/.ssh/ewing_ssh_rsync_key Documents/gnupg-data/ jan@www.jankester.com:/home/jan/backup_rsync

Now add a script to sync anything you like /home/jan/cron/backup-ewing-on-vs01-05.sh:

#!/bin/sh

RSYNC=/usr/bin/rsync
SSH=/usr/bin/ssh
KEY=/home/jan/.ssh/ewing_ssh_rsync_key
RUSER=jan
RHOST=www.jankester.com
RPATH=/home/jan/backup_rsync

LPATH=/home/jan/Documents/gnupg-data
$RSYNC -azv -e "$SSH -i $KEY" $LPATH $RUSER@$RHOST:$RPATH

LPATH=/home/jan/.ssh
$RSYNC -azv -e "$SSH -i $KEY" $LPATH $RUSER@$RHOST:$RPATH

LPATH=/home/jan/ssh
$RSYNC -azv -e "$SSH -i $KEY" $LPATH $RUSER@$RHOST:$RPATH

LPATH=/home/jan/vnc
$RSYNC -azv -e "$SSH -i $KEY" $LPATH $RUSER@$RHOST:$RPATH

LPATH=/home/jan/Documents/technical_tips
$RSYNC -azv -e "$SSH -i $KEY" $LPATH $RUSER@$RHOST:$RPATH

LPATH=/home/jan/Documents/personal
$RSYNC -azv -e "$SSH -i $KEY" $LPATH $RUSER@$RHOST:$RPATH

LPATH=/home/jan/.bash*
$RSYNC -azv -e "$SSH -i $KEY" $LPATH $RUSER@$RHOST:$RPATH

Add parameter --delete to make sure that deleted files on the server also get deleted on the remote backup host.

When connecting to samba share, add parameter --modify-window=10, and use instead of -azv the combinaition -rtzv.

Interactive selenium testing

The problem Location of elements When I started using selenium, I noticed that it is not easy to do it right. First you start with IDE, but you notice, that the IDE does not really record a lot. In a next step I added firebug, and started analyzing how the elements where to be located: either by tag, id, class etc. Junit testcase With this information I could then create my junit testcase: @Test public void testMapView() throws Exception { //assert that we cannot see submenu of MapCreator elem = driver.findElement(By.className(SeleniumConstants.MAP_SUB_MENU)); String style = elem.getAttribute("style"); assertTrue("Element must have style display off.",style.matches("display: none.*")); logger.debug("Located element " + SeleniumConstants.MAP_SUB_MENU); //find menu and click on mapview elem = driver.findElement(By.id(SeleniumConstants.MAP_CONTROL)); actions.moveToElement(elem).click().perform(); //assert su...
